Haha... Wow I have been wondering this. My arms get pretty itchy after I've been working in my tank. Well, I really only use my right arm. But it will feel itchy on the underside of the arm where my skin is a little more soft than the outside of my arm. I felt like I was crazy but I have been wondering for a while if anyone else felt this!

I use bloodworms every once in a while, but not often - so I don't think thats my cause.

I'm just sure to wash my arm really well with antibacterial soap when I finish.

I don't feed blood worms, no one sells them around me and freeze dried is just so messy! I don't have crypts either!
You guys all have great ideas though!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one, for whatever reason..
Next time it happens, I'll have to test my palms for redness.
I don't think it's the position of my arm, it happens in all my tanks, big or small.
